DOVER — Police and Fire departments are investigating a fire leaving a New York Street home uninhabitable Saturday night.

The fire appears to have started from the outside. The blaze was reported just minutes after a Jeep Wrangler reportedly caught fire on the other end of the street.

Firefighters were on scene near 4 New York St., working to get the car fire under control, when a blaze at 34 New York St. was reported around 9:46 p.m., about six minutes after the report of the vehicle fire.

Fire Capt. John Cunningham said it appears the fire at 34 New York St. was started from the outside. The multifamily home, containing about four apartments, had reportedly been vacant for months, according to neighbors.

The vacant home sustained heavy damage throughout the right side of the building, from the first story to the third story, said Cunningham. He said there is much smoke damage inside the building, as well as damage from the flames, which had traveled from the outside of the home to the inside.

Still, he said firefighters were able to contain the damage primarily to the right side of the building, looking at the front of the building.

No injuries resulted from the two fires at New York Street. Cunningham said that at this time, the two incidents are being investigated jointly by the Police Department and the Fire Department. He said the fire appears suspicious at this time.

Cunningham said Sunday that the identity of the owner of the Jeep Wrangler is unknown to him at this time.

The three-alarm fire drew response from fire departments all over the area, including Rochester, Durham, Portsmouth, North Berwick, Maine, Somersworth, and Rollinsford. A fire truck from Pease International Tradeport also responded. A full list of departments responding was not available Sunday.

Dover police officers familiar with the incident were not available for comment on Sunday.
